Amazing location, scenery and views! The area around the hotel is beautiful, and so many things to see within easy walking and driving distance. The on-site Onsens were also great! Parts of the property are getting old and worn, but otherwise clean and well kept. The included buffet breakfasts and dinners were an unexpected bonus!

Nice rustic onsen

Dated hotel, as are all the hotels in the area, but very well maintained. Staff were all superb and the food service was very efficient and tasty. Not Michelin starred, but neither is the cost.

The hotel aesthetic is wonderful, the rooms were spacious and clean, the food provided was wonderful and the hot springs were incredible. The location is slightly difficult to get to as a foreigner (I speak very little Japanese but can read a little bit) but once there it was an incredible experience. Easily one of the nicest locations and hotels I’ve stayed in.

This place is being run by slum lords. I do not recommend this place. They have capitilized on the fact that most people will only stay one night or only go to one ryokan during their japan visit, and will not have basis to compare. We just checked into another ryokan of similar expense, and there is no comparison-this place needs a refit or should close down. Everything in this hotel is the exact same as it was 50 years ago when they built it-the carpet, the paint, even the japanese hotel clothes we were issued are likely original. I

The hotel is lovely! A bit dated but very well maintained. The included buffet dinner and breakfast were amazing with many choices of Japanese and Western food! Lovely rooftop onsen plus ground floor onsen. The area around the hotel is a quiet with many ships and restaurants closed but that allowed us to enjoy the hotel facilities.

The hotel is near the Hells Valley so it is accesible. The property needs refurbishment critically so guests can have a better experience. The room is clean but the mildew smell is unbearable. It is a quiet location which makes it enjoyable.

An ok hotel but showing it’s age

The hotel is quite old and could be in need of some renovation. The area itself is pretty dead during the winter. Only reason to stay here is for the ice festival if you are not driving. The staff were friendly and the included meals are a stellar deal. Could be better during the other seasons.

層雲峡の渓谷の高い所にあり、目の前に石狩川を挟み朝陽山が望まれる、山の中の温泉ホテルで建物は新しくないが満足できた。チェツクインの時にスタッフが見当たらず 案内も無く、駐車場の場所がわからない状態だった。7Ｆの露天風呂は層雲峡の柱状摂理の岸壁が見え迫力がある。客室や設備は古いが清潔な感じだった。５人で１部屋で利用したが、ベッドＸ２名　和室Ｘ３名の部屋で家族や友人グループには便利なお部屋だった。朝食はバイキング方式で和洋折衷で色々な食材が用意されており良かった。

受付、レストランともにスタッフの対応はとても丁寧で良かった。外国人スタッフも丁寧な日本語を話せてもてなしもしっかりしているので違和感なく過ごせました。 不満は部屋の扉関係、掃除、備品です。 入り口の扉、トイレの扉、シャワー室の扉すべて遮音性が低く音や声がそのまま聞こえる。ベッドの下の清掃が行き届いていない。洗面所備品がほぼ無い（ロビー横から手持ち）。シャワー室のソープやシャンプーの量が少ない。様々な事情で温泉に浸かれない人もいると思うので、シャワー室の備品はきちんと揃えてほしい。
